management-talk — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Rewrites technical engineering updates for VPs, directors, and PMs. Shapes the output specifically for JIRA tickets, Slack threads, or async standups.
npx skills add thananon/9arm-skills --skill management-talk -a claude-codeWhat management-talk does
The skill transforms internal dev updates into clear briefs for engineering leadership. It keeps critical references like product names, JIRA tickets, and PR numbers, while cutting low-level code mechanics such as function signatures, memory struct fields, commit SHAs, and file paths. High-level technical realities like race conditions or buffer issues remain intact rather than getting dumbed down.
Output layout changes depending on the delivery medium. A JIRA update receives clear sections covering status, user impact, root causes, and next steps. Slack posts stay condensed under eighty words with bullet points, while async standup notes condense into one to three concise lines.
The prompt explicitly excludes non-technical external audiences, so marketing or customer communications require separate adjustments.
What it helps with
- convert technical incident notes into a structured JIRA comment
- condense complex pull request details into a short Slack team post
- draft a two-sentence progress note for an async standup
- prepare engineering talking points for a meeting with directors
Example prompts for the agent
- Rewrite this bug analysis into a status update for our engineering director in JIRA.
- Turn this PR review summary into a quick Slack message for the product team.
- Draft an async standup line explaining the fix for ticket JIRA-12345.
